Russia and Austria-Hungary I don't think would be on the same side, since they had a big rivalry over the Balkans.
I wasn't aware of the USA's good relations with Russia. Still, barring a cosmic act of stupidity from the Anglo-Germans the USA won't be entering the war. The Germans won't need to engage in submarine warfare against shipping at all with the British on their side. The USA will be annoyed by the blockade yes, but that didn't bring them in OTL.
So, continuing from where I left off with my scenario. Russia falls into civil war and chaos as OTL, only this time with Trotsky at the helm. Even though he places a like-minded henchman as head of the Red Army, whoever that is won't quite have his organizational vision and ability. Therefore it takes slightly longer to organize the Red Army into an effective fighting force, which means it takes longer to defeat the Whites.
Germany turns Poland, Ukraine, Finland, and the Baltic States(do they do the same for Belarus, I'm not sure about that one) into puppet kingdoms with German monarchs.
The French colonial empire is dismembered, though I think some of the worthless desert bits are left to them along with possibly Algeria. I'm guessing Britain gets the lion's share of those colonies; after all Germany will be busy in Europe. Germany may get the French West African coast, Middle Congo and some other places, Britain gets whatever is left that it wants to take. I'm guessing that Britain takes Indochina as well(which does not bode well for Siam, since their independence was largely due to their usefulness as a buffer between the British and the French in SE Asia). The Brits take over Madagascar, Australia gets New Caledonia and French Polynesia. This WWI will be interesting in the development of Australian/New Zealander identity, since Gallipoli played a big role in the development of a separate identity.
The Italian colonial empire goes to the Brits. Germany may also sell the Brits Tanganyka since it's worthless anyway and the Brits will want to build the Cape-Cairo railway.
